SOCIAL STUDIES ACTIVITIES Getting to Know Iowa's Power Plants Iowa produces most of its electrical power from the burning of coal, nuclear energy, and running water. The following lists give the name and location of power plants in Iowa that use nuclear energy and hydroelectric power. The list includes some towns and cities that have coal-burning plants. Activity: Use a road map of Iowa to find the towns and cities where these electric generating plants are located. Then mark these locations on the Iowa county map on the next page. Use a color code or symbol for each type of power plant.

9. SOCIAL STUDIES ACTIVITIES Have students obtain data on average wind speed for various cities in iowa. The stateforecast office in Des Moines should have some wind data for the state http://www.earth.uni.edu/EECP/elem/mod3_socact.html

SOCIAL STUDIES ACTIVITIES Solar and Wind Energy Around the World Teacher's Notes Objective: Each student 1) decides upon uses for solar and wind energy; 2) designs and constructs an energy collage; and 3) titles the collage. Teaching Suggestions: 1. Students are given magazines, catalogs, and newspapers to cut out pictures for an energy collage. 2. After the collage is complete, a title should be given. A contest could be held to see which collage shows the most ways of using solar or wind energy. 3. Winners could be rewarded with a solar powered clothes dryer (clothes line and pins). Extend the Activity: Have students write the "message" their collage represents and present their products to the class. Solar and Wind Energy Around the World Problem: How does our world use wind and solar energy? Materials: 1. Magazines, catalogs, and newspapers 2. Construction paper or poster board 3. Glue Activity: 1. On paper, list uses of wind or solar energy. 2. Look through magazines, catalogs, and newspapers for pictures depicting the use of solar and wind energy. Cut out these pictures. 3. Glue pictures onto poster board or construction paper to make a collage.

Iowa Civil Rights Commission Accessibility Study Executive Summary existing accessibility studies, (2) reviewed state Building Code studies conductedby the cities of Cedar Council Bluffs, Davenport, Dubuque, iowa City, Mason http://www.state.ia.us/government/crc/accessibilityexecutivesummary.html

Accessibility Review of Covered Multifamily Housing Executive Summary State and federal fair housing laws that prohibit discrimination against persons with disabilities impose basic "accessibility" structural standards for newly constructed covered multifamily dwellings. The State Building Code also imposes accessibility standards and requires that blueprints be reviewed for accessibility compliance and that "handicapped review certificates" be issued for every covered multifamily dwelling. The Iowa Civil Rights Commission recently completed a four-step study to determine the level of compliance with those accessibility requirements. The Commission (1) reviewed existing accessibility studies, (2) reviewed State Building Code "handicapped review certificate" files, (3) surveyed county and city housing officials, and (4) conducted on-site surveys of covered multifamily dwellings. Existing Accessibility Studies. The Commission reviewed the latest "Fair Housing Impediments Analysis" studies conducted by the Cities of Cedar Falls, Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Dubuque, Iowa City, Mason City, Sioux City, and Waterloo. Four studies did not address accessibility. Three indicated a shortage of accessible housing and two indicated compliance problems in new construction. The Fair Housing Center in Omaha, Nebraska, recently surveyed a number of new construction projects throughout Nebraska and Council Bluffs, Iowa, and found significant compliance problems. Indeed, frequently the building inspectors who would be called upon to ensure that the blueprints provided for accessibility compliance had scant familiarity with the provisions of the law. The Fair Housing Center report includes a quote from a building inspector in Council Bluffs, stating that he thought that "if the building could be made accessible (e.g. the light switch could be lowered or a ramp could be installed) then the requirements are met."

Offices RBCA Implementation Case Studies 1: IOWA’s Stakeholder Involvement No. 1: IOWA’s Stakeholder Involvement (November 1995) To date, 32 state UST/LUST programs are either receiving risk-based corrective action (RBCA) training or actively developing a RBCA process. State UST/LUST and Fund program managers have been considering a risk-based approach to corrective action because it offers a responsible way to make decisions given states’ growing workloads and decreasing resources. By focusing on the risk posed by each site rather than striving for an often unachievable cleanup level at all sites (regardless of risk), state managers can target their limited cleanup resources. This series of RBCA Implementation Case Studies is a means for sharing RBCA information among states. Each issue will discuss a particular aspect of one state’s RBCA development or implementation effort. The first case focuses on Iowa’s involving a broad array of stakeholders from the outset of its RBCA effort. Stakeholder Philosophy A State’s LUST cleanup program affects many different members of the communitystation owners, cleanup contractors, environmental groups, residents, bankers, property owners, politicians, realtors, regulators, and others. The development of a Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA) program will impact each of these parties. To achieve the most effective RBCA program possible and to garner necessary support from the community of stakeholders, it is essential to involve interested parties from the outset in program development. Patrick Rounds of Iowa’s State UST Fund noted the importance of stakeholder involvement as follows: "Stakeholders often feel that Government forces regulations on them; so they resist them, even when they are good regs." Involving stakeholders early on can help dispel the perception that the
